The "city on a hill" has remained a popular description for America ever since John Winthrop's 1630 speech, invoked by presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Ronald Reagan in reference to the United States. Do you believe Winthrop's "city on a hill" argument is an apt metaphor for the American nation? Why or why not? What are the strengths and weaknesses of such a metaphor?

why is a nation of the tood recurre.

honeslty bro its the same thing

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40     distribute/multiply - into (2a + 7)

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

1 - 2a = a + 40       add 2a on both sides

1 = 3a + 40         subtract 40 on both sides

-39 = 3a       divide 3 on both sides

-13 = a

[proof]

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40

8 - (2(-13) + 7) = -13 + 40

8 - (-26 + 7) = 27

8 - (-19) = 27

8 + 19 = 27

27 = 27
